Thank you for the new slugging changes!!

I've been left to bleed out a lot the past few days and I can't wait for these changes. This should've been added to the game sooner, but I'm happy. Good job on this one.

    I agreed with this statement, UB however... should have been Reworked or be given a nerf.

    Faster recovery time, but... maybe you should be forced to be broken and have a exhaustion penalty.

    But the changes don’t affect only trolls bleeding people to death out of spite. It throws literally everything at any stage of the game into whack.

    I am really curious to test it all out on the PTB with everyone!

    the timings are way too good for survivor side. 22,5 seconds with Unbreakable? How do you even slug now for 2 downs (which was the essential playstyle for good players against good teams, watch some tournaments). How do you even use powers now like Onis or the Twins? Killer will be forced to play very dull (down, hook, down, hook), there is no risk - reward play involved anymore. A good survivor team is good because they are organized and coordinated, they can detect and play around a slugging killer. Now bad survivors get carried again.

    Yea i understand a 4man slugging nurse is very boring but at least make the numbers like 50-60 seconds and 75% faster with Unbreakable. A good 4man swf with 4x Unbreakable is basically denying the killer any form of pressure because the dumb "down-hook-search-chase-down-hook-search-etc." game doesn't work as people want it to do. You cannot 12-hook a good survivor team if you're not Nurse or Blight (and even then it gets hard on some maps).

    If you want to completely deny tunneling (20 sec BT, basekit old BT, OTR meta), camping (new Reassurence meta) and slugging (unlimited basekit UB) it's fine, but you can't just do that without giving killers something in return. The first thing would be to balance ALL maps (make them smaller etc) so that abominations like Eyrie of crows, gardens of joy, the game or fractured cowshed don't exist anymore.
